MY CREATIVE WORK
Here are my main projects related to both music & acting.
I have now for the last few years been producing and managing artistic projects within a team and as a solo artist. I have taken workshops and intense training in production and leadership with focus on both the music industry and stage work with the Danish mentors Karen Toftegard & Cecilia Krill.
Last couple of years I have had the chance to explore and take part in international collaborations, e.g. with Kristján Ingimarsson Company.
I am a CEO at the ÞAU Company with my partner Garðar Borgþórsson. ÞAU Company produces music and events.
MUSIC
ÞAU
Singer & Composer & Manager in this alternative/indie rock band.
ÞAU's music is inspired by Icelandic poems and culture but the band's main theme revolves around making new music with lyrics from Icelandic poetry. Adventures come to life and the past meets the present in melodies with rock, pop, jazz and blues vibes. ÞAU has released two albums. The first album "ÞAU taka Vestfirði" includes 12 original songs by ÞAU with poetic lyrics originated from the Westfjords of Iceland. The band's second album "ÞAU taka Norðurland" shines a light on poets from the Northern part of Iceland with a special focus on female poets.
Last three years the band has held successful concert tours in Iceland during summer time. As well as performing in the Reykjavík area all year around. Next up is a grand concert at Hof in Akureyri on the 12th of April. Tickets available on tix.

Tired moms who work out every day and have time to put on makeup. They have it all under control. Super-moms!
